Geomorphology in Arid Regions Binghamton Geomorphology Symposium 8 Routledge Library Editions: Geology Series
Coordonnateur : Doehring Donald O.
This book, first published in 1980, collects together thirteen articles on ?Geomorphology in Arid Regions?. It uses the term ?arid? loosely to include studies from climes which might otherwise be considered semi-arid, in order to provide a diversity of papers dealing with important problems of interest to geomorphologists today.
